The Griffin X Series 1946 Slipjoint Folding Knife combines modern high-end materials with the timeless appeal of a traditional pocketknife. Built with precision and attention to detail, this slipjoint offers dependable everyday cutting performance while honoring the simple mechanics and clean lines that have defined classic folding knives for generations.
The blade measures 2.79” and is crafted from premium S90V stainless steel with a belt satin finish that highlights the steel’s clean grind lines. Known for exceptional edge retention and impressive wear resistance, S90V is a top-tier blade steel trusted by serious knife users. The versatile drop point profile handles a wide range of cutting tasks with ease, from daily utility work to precise detail cuts. A traditional nail nick provides controlled, reliable manual opening while preserving the refined slipjoint aesthetic.
The Griffin X Series 1946 is a manual folder that runs on ceramic bearings, giving the blade remarkably smooth movement during opening and closing. The slipjoint mechanism delivers reliable tension without a locking system, offering the familiar feel that collectors and everyday carriers appreciate.
Stonewash titanium handles provide outstanding durability while keeping the knife lightweight and corrosion resistant. Set into the handle is a natural Micarta inlay that adds warmth, character, and a secure grip. Micarta develops a unique patina through regular use, meaning each knife gradually takes on its own distinct personality over time.
Titanium hardware and a titanium pocket clip round out the construction, reinforcing the knife’s premium build while ensuring secure everyday carry. The Griffin X Series 1946 measures 3.71” closed and weighs 3.4 ounces, making it compact enough for comfortable pocket carry while still offering plenty of cutting capability.
